Incorporating oils into your skincare routine not only provides hydration and antioxidant protection to your skin, but oils are also an incredible source of key properties, even capable of decongesting the skin and eliminating microorganisms. Let's take a look at some interesting facts about them that you didn't know until now and see why oils are your best beauty ally.
1. Sunflower oil as an exfoliant? It is an oil rich in omega-6 (linoleic acid), which balances skin prone to comedones derived from the production of less viscous sebum (low in omega-6) that ends up clogging the pores. Oils, in general, have a better ability to penetrate the skin's hydrolipidic film, helping to better dissolve compact dirt within the pores.
2. If your skin has an irregular texture and tends to be dry, avocado oil is your best beauty ally.
3. Who needs cleansing brushes? When oils protect us against bacteria.
4. From the kitchen to the beach. Rice oil enhances sun protection and minimizes cellular damage caused by sun exposure.
5. If you're one of those who wants everything 'Oil-free', remember that oils are your best beauty ally as they help to decongest the skin!
6. If you are prone to acne, apply oil to your skin! It's possible that your breakouts are due to a compromised barrier. Strengthening that barrier with oils minimizes the chances of developing acne.
7. Safflower oil is man's best friend. Capable of working its way through beards and other facial hair, it improves the balance of male skin, eliminating the greasy feeling.
8. Almond oil, the great forgotten in natural cosmetics? It integrates very well into the hydrolipidic film and minimizes water evaporation. Not only does it work well on dry skin, but it also proves to be a miracle product for dry hair. Apply it to your hair as a mask 15 minutes before your usual shampoo.
9. If you're concerned about your hands from washing them so much, alternate your usual soap with coconut oil. It is composed of at least 50% lauric acid, and this molecule is known for its antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
10. If you can't find a remedy for blemishes and are tired of trying products that don't work, incorporate cucumber oil into your routine.
